new or little-known species of Glenea. 221 



Head and prothorax dull black and faintly pubescent. Scutellum 

 black. Elytra brick-red, somewhat glossy, very strongly and 

 thickly punctured, with two carinas on each side in addition to the 

 marginal carina, with four very minute tufts of short whitish 

 hairs on each elytron ; the apices truncate, with the outer angles 

 spinose, the sutural angles dentate. Body underneath black, 

 somewhat glossy, faintly pubescent, with a greyish white spot at 

 the apex of each post-episterum, and a similar white spot near the 

 postero-lateral angle of each of the abdominal segments. Legs 

 and antennae black. 



A large series of this species has recently been brought 

 from the Nilghiri Hills by Mr. Hampson. In many 

 specimens the minute white tufts have entirely dis- 

 appeared from the elytra.

 maculis quatuor nigris, in medio conjunctis ; elytris macula 

 Buturali pone scutellum, singuloque macula parva ad medium, 

 plaga irregulari pone humerum, et fasciis duabus transversis 

 versus apicem, nigris ; pedibus testaceis ; antennis nigris. Long. 

 10—12 mm. 



Hab. Ceylon. 



With a sulphur-yellow pubescence. The front of the head with 

 a black spot in the middle below joined to a broader somewhat 

 squarish spot above, which again is united by a short line with a 

 broadly triangular black space on the vertex. Prothorax with four 

 petaloid black spots above — two anteriorly and two posteriorly — 

 all united together on the middle of the disk ; with a small black 

 spot high up on each side, and a larger black spot just above the 

 coxal cavity. Elytra with a single carina on each side, extending 

 about half their length from the shoulder ; with a single sutural 

 black spot just behind the scutellum, and each with a small spot at 

 the middle, two transverse fasciae (which do not reach the suture) 

 towards the apex, and an irregular figure behind the shoulder, 

 black. The apices truncate, with the outer angles spined. Body 

 underneath with a sulphur-yellow pubescence spotted with black. 

 Legs testaceous. Antennae black. 



This species seems closely allied to the species which 

 bears the manuscript name Glenea sulphur ella, White, 

 and which is, I have little doubt, the Glenea midti- 

 guttata of Guerin, though the length (20 mm.) given for
